Student Research at Western
At Western Washington University, undergraduate students have unparalleled access to top-flight research. This allows them to connect, engage, explore and work to change the world around them. Our students are studying ocean acidification and the ecological effects of dam removal. They are investigating solar energy and how our brains react to addiction. They are composing new pieces of music and approaching studio art in innovative ways. The research done by students and faculty at Western makes it one of the highest rated public universities of its kind in the west.
